Pediatric benign osteocytic tumors, such as osteoma, enostosis, osteoid osteoma, and osteoblastoma, are more common than malignancies. Diagnosis and management often rely on a systemic imaging approach, with radiographs being the most prevalent modality. CT scan is particularly useful for osteoid osteoma diagnosis and treatment guidance.
Pediatric benign osteocytic tumors include osteoma, enostosis, osteoid osteoma, and osteoblastoma. In pediatric populations, benign bone tumors are more common than malignancies. Benign osteocytic tumors may have a unique clinical presentation that helps narrow the differential diagnosis. A systemic imaging approach should be utilized to reach the diagnosis and guide clinicians in management. Radiographs are the most prevalent and cost-effective imaging modality. Cross-sectional imaging can be utilized for tissue characterization and for evaluation of lesions involving complex anatomical areas such as the pelvis and spine. Computed Tomography (CT) is the modality of choice for diagnosis of osteoid osteoma. CT scan can also be utilized to guide radiofrequency ablation, which has been found to be highly effective in treating osteoid osteoma and osteoblastoma. Enostosis is a no-touch lesion. Osteoma is commonly located in the paranasal sinuses. Osteoma needs an excision if it causes complications due to a mass effect.
